Save Money on Supplies

VAC, with partners, has been developing services for civil society groups in Camden to access deals on goods and services.

Voluntary Action Camden is aware of the pressures faced by its members in needing to reduce costs. Additionally, with the current squeeze on funding, many charities are under-resourced and as a result each staff member is left with more work to cope with. The result is that charities are desperate to reduce costs, but struggle to find the time to search the market for reputable providers to review their services and negotiate better contracts.

Through the Camden Bulk-Buy Scheme organisations can:

Save money on goods and services by accessing negotiated deals

Save time shopping around as we will identify preferred suppliers

Make more ethical and environmentally friendly purchasing choices

Access tailor made services for the voluntary and community sector

Where can we save money?

We are currently focusing on gas, electricity, insurance, telecoms, stationery and ICT schemes. Organisations already signed up to the scheme are seeing considerable savings which they can reinvest in vital services, projects and core costs.
